I installed a new win2k8 x64-server some months ago to be used exclusively
with Windows Sharepoint Services 3 (WSS). During the time, I've had it run
updates more or less automatically with no problems, except for the occasional
hiccup (rarely really) when backing up the 2GB WSS db and sites failed.
For me this win2k8-installation (department's only one so far) has been
extremely stable. More so even than some of our win2k3-servers, which I guess
is a good sign. Knock on wood...
Can you tell us more about the hardware on your win2k8-server?
